<h2>How to help Dragora</h2>

<p>These are general tips on how you can help Dragora.</p>

<p>Development of Dragora in general is a volunteer effort, and you can
contribute.  If you'd like to get involved, it's a good idea to join the
discussion mailing list (see above).</p>

<h3>Test releases</h3>

<ul>
  <li>Using the distribution in general terms or trying the latest test release
    (when available) is always appreciated.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Bug Reports</h4>

<p>For general discussion of bugs in Dragora the mailing list &lt;dragora-users
(a) nongnu org&gt; is the most appropriate forum. Please send messages as plain
text, do not send messages encoded as HTML nor encoded as base64 MIME nor
included as multiple formats. Please include a descriptive subject line. If all
of the subject are "bug in dragora" it is impossible to differentiate them.</p>

<h3>Development</h3>

<ul>
  <li>When the next version of Dragora is in development, you can check if
    the TODO file is available (git repository) to see what is missing or
    what needs to be done.</li>
  <li>You can browse the source code and check if something can be
    improved, if you do not understand anything about programming, you can
    contribute by detecting spelling mistakes in miscellaneous messages.</li>
  <li>You can help with ideas or by introducing something that is really
    necessary.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Documentation</h3>

<ul>
  <li>The improvement of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and the
    documentation in general about Dragora is always welcome.</li>
</ul>

<p>Translations of the website and documentation of Dragora are welcome. Note:
we are trying to improve the information in both, website and documentation
before accepting translations.</p>

<ul>
  <li>You can translate the website in your language. Latest sources can
    be found on the git repository under the "website" directory.</li>
  <li>You can help with the official manual and also help translate it to
    other languages. This is not just for you, it can benefit to anyone in
    the world who is interested in the project.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Help others</h3>
